Linda Fruhvirtova’s run to the second week of a Grand Slam at the age of 17 is a special achievement. The Czech wonderkid beat Australians Jaimee Fourlis and Kimberly Birrell before taking out her countrywoman Marketa Vondrousova in round three. In that match, Vondrousova struggled … Continue readingVinny’s Australian Open Day 8 Preview – Donna Vekic vs. Linda Fruhvirtova
After running through the footage from the Couacoud match, the comments after the game, and the form of Grigor Dimitrov overall, I am more than comfortable making a play at the current odds here. Regardless of the severity of the issue, there is clearly something … Continue readingATP Australian Open – Djokovic vs Dimitrov
Just a small play here, however there still appears to be some value at the current line. With the way the balls are playing and the conditions at night, this presents as a tough prospect for Andy Murray coming off two long matches, most notably … Continue readingATP Australian Open – RBA vs Murray
Despite reaching the third round here in Melbourne, Jelena Ostapenko still looks far from her best. Against Anna Bondar, the Latvian could have easily lost the first two sets, but went on to win 6-0 in the third. The former French Open champion is known … Continue readingVinny’s Australian Open Day 5 Preview – Kateryna Baindl vs. Jelena Ostapenko
In a similar approach to my Collins-Muchova preview, I think Leylah Fernandez and Caroline Garcia should be a lot closer given their current form. The winner of the WTA Finalsseemingly lost a bit of her momentum as she only beat Katerina Siniakova 7-5 in the … Continue readingVinny’s Australian Open Day 4 Preview – Leylah Fernandez vs. Caroline Garcia
Injury doubts were surrounding both Karolina Muchova and Danielle Collins before the start of their respective Australian Open campaigns. However, it was just the American that actually showed some issues in her opener. Collins called for a medical timeout during the first set against Anna … Continue readingVinny’s Australian Open Preview Day 3 – Karolina Muchova vs. Danielle Collins
It’s a funny old Day 3 at the Australian Open, with a number of matches carried over from Day 2 due to the heat and the rain we saw in Melbourne yesterday. There are a couple of players still to come from yesterday’s list. They … Continue reading2023 Australian Open Day 3 Thoughts
In another matchup between an Aussie and a European, I don’t think Emil Ruusuvuori’s form warrants pricing him as low as $1.40. The favoured Finn hasn’t won a match so far this season while Purcell had some strong straight-set wins in qualifying over Damir Dzumhur … Continue readingVinny’s ATP 2023 Australian Open Preview: Max Purcell vs. Emil Ruusuvuori
We wrap up Round 1 with an absolute scorcher of a Tuesday forecast. It’ll be incredibly hot on court, and hopefully the “Should Win” list for today can match yesterday’s effort! Let’s take a look at the “Should Win” list for Day 2. “Should Win” … Continue reading2023 Australian Open Day 2 Thoughts
The Australian Open are officially underway and I’m hyped to join Steve in publishing some previews on his site again. Let’s start with a very evenly-matched encounter between Yannick Hanfmann and the talented young Australian Rinky Hijikata. The 21-year-old can surely count on some crowd … Continue readingVinny’s ATP 2023 Australian Open Preview: Hanfmann vs Hijikata
